Lobouspo Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 She told me she had fun on our first. What do you guys think?
Gr8fuln2020 Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 It is a common venue for many dates. Personally, I would postpone it until you have gotten to know her better in a quieter context. Ask her if she'd be interested. It certainly would be fun with the right person. 1
preraph Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 She told me she had fun on our first. What do you guys think? I think it's great as long as she's not one of those people who's afraid of rides but also it's awfully expensive so that's pretty extravagant and you might want to say that for a special occasion. 3
Author Lobouspo Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 So I did ask her. She said she loves amusement parks except "the very scary rides". Lol....think it sounds ok to ask her? We have a local amusement park in my city that I haven't been to I years. Not sure how it's changed but I can tell driving by they have expanded and added rides. Nothing like Six Flags though 1
Author Lobouspo Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks guys, I asked her. She seems real excited about going.. 5
jgraham11 Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 It's a good idea. Anytime I go on a second date I always try to make part of it physical. Going for a walk, going to the park, bowling, dancing, etc.. So I'd say this is a good idea. Anything but dinner and a movie Good luck 2
ExpatInItaly Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I've actually had a first date at an amusement park, and it was a blast. If you've asked and she accepted, go and enjoy! 5
phineas Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 i got no horse in this race. I scream like a little girl when i go with my kids then man up and will myself not to vomit afterword. How about an outdoor concert? 4
d0nnivain Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 Glad you're going. Amusement parks are fun. As a 2nd date I was going to say it's a long time to spend together & they are expensive. I would be a uncomfortable taking the 2 hour ride to the nearest amusement park, letting him spend upwards of $75 to get in, plus expensive food & 8+ hours together.
stillafool Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 I love Amusement parks and that would be a great first date for me! 1
CautiouslyOptimistic Posted July 23, 2017 Posted July 23, 2017 I hate it in extreme heat. Would be fun on a really nice day, though .
GunslingerRoland Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I think it sounds like a good idea, lots of chance to talk in line's etc. 1
Dru76 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I had my first real date with my current boyfriend at an amusement park and it was awesome. ETA- We had coffee a couple of times before.
Author Lobouspo Posted July 24, 2017 Author Posted July 24, 2017 We are set for Wednesday. Hopefully she doesn't cancel. One of my friends at work is laughed at me, but the whole dinner and movie thing gets boring 1

GorillaTheater Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Amusement park dates are the best. My now-wife and I reconnected after bailing on a party and going to a fair/carnival. Nothing like being hurled into each other at 6 Gs. 2
Author Lobouspo Posted July 28, 2017 Author Posted July 28, 2017 Just wanted to bump this thread and post an update. We both had a blast at the amusement park. She works 12 hour shifts on the weekends and I work conventional hours so we agreed to a movie next Wednesday for our third date. Do you think this is an appropriate pace? I really like her, but want to keep my expectations in check.
d0nnivain Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 One date per week is an appropriate pace for a 3rd date but so is 2 dates per week. There are no right or wrong answers here. It's what fits for the 2 people involved. Your schedules do complicate things a bit. Keep in touch between & things should be fine. 2
kendahke Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 She told me she had fun on our first. What do you guys think? Depends upon how crowded the park is. Could be a great idea; could be a horrible idea.
Gr8fuln2020 Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 Depends upon how crowded the park is. Could be a great idea; could be a horrible idea. He's already gone on the date and they had a 'blast.' OP, With your schedules, depending on how tired she is and what shift she works, you two can find some time during the weekend. Perhaps, as you two get closer, just hanging out at her place or yours is acceptable? I know that there are times when just spending quiet, relaxed time with a SO is just as important as heading out into the town. Just make certain you make yourself available w/o sounding or behaving anxious. Be as flexible as possible and don't let her think that you are losing interesting by playing games. I don't suspect you will. 1
kendahke Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 He's already gone on the date and they had a 'blast.' Then I was right 2
SevenCity Posted July 28, 2017 Posted July 28, 2017 We are set for Wednesday. Hopefully she doesn't cancel. One of my friends at work is laughed at me, but the whole dinner and movie thing gets boring You are way too vested for a 2nd or 3rd date and need to put your feelings in check. That sounds like a great date but you have to transition into physical activities like back to your place. Also, be careful the precedent you set if you are not planning on keeping it up long term. I would only have done an amusement park if the girl was my gf. Glad you had fun but don't get ahead of yourself. Have sex with her and see what she is all about before going ring shopping on the 4th date.
